''All relations go through hell, only the real come out of it''. Being in a relationship is one of the few feelings that can be matched by no other. That one person who makes you feel complete, who takes pride in calling you theirs, in spite of all your flaws, who promises you a forever of togetherness- feels like a fairytale.

We seldom come across things that are perfect, and a relation is no exception to this norm. Every relationship goes through its share of ups and downs. A true relationship not only withstands the adversities of time but also makes you get closer to your partner. However, one important aspect of assessment that comes into play is- have the downs come to the point of toxicity?

An ideal relationship definitely has compromises, but not to the point where compromises are one-sided or make you deprived of your mental peace. A relationship is a beautiful bond that develops between two people, and the responsibility of maintaining it should be shared by both. Some of the signs that your relationship might not be to the best of your interest:

You are the only one communicating

Your self-respect is getting compromised in a bid to save your relation

You are the only one getting blamed

What you do is wrong, what they do is right

Over possessiveness

Communication is the essence of any relation. There is no better way to solve differences than to communicate. But, if you find yourself putting in all the effort for solving out the differences that have crept it without the other showing any interest, it is probably time to rethink about the relation.

A very thin line marks the separation between ego and self- respect. It is important to understand that you should certainly put aside your ego, but not your self-respect. A person who truly loves you will never make you compromise with your self- respect.

To err is human. You probably are an alien if you don't make mistakes. But sit and think- are you the exclusive one getting blamed for every wrong that happens?

'I could not meet up since I got stuck with some presentation. Please understand I am a professional and I have to prioritize my work'. 'What? Are you cancelling this plan again? Are you the only one doing all the work at your office? You are a professional, with no regard for personal life'.

Rings a bell?

It is cute when your partner gets jealous about the proximity to your opposite sex friend. But I have seen instances where people are BANNED from having any contact with that girl/boy. This is an alarming situation- being in a relationship, by no means can cut you off the rest of the people. A good relationship does not rob you of the presence of others in your life.

It is never easy to let go of the love of your life- a person who is like an addiction. Obviously, calling it quits should be the last option in a relationship. Getting through the differences will take time and you have to be patient. However, you should also take into consideration the fact that whether these differences will really wipe off entirely, or is it a matter of time before they come to haunt you again.

Sometimes, letting go is the only option in a bid to save yourself.

In a bid to satisfy your partner, don't stretch a relationship that is toxic to your well being and peace. Remember, you can love others only when you love yourself.
